Some more pics. Looks like "M" 314 as referenced on that other thread for the weight and maker I'm guessing. Barrell shows it's Plain Twist, and the Grade location has "U" showing.

Thanks Chris.
Not just the 'M' but also the Parker P in a diamond



I suspect the barrels were blued at some point, obscuring the original pattern which I don't believe to be Plain Twist.

It could be Chris, but the ribband edge welds are not usually as prominent in Plain Twist

Unfortunately, my barrels really have no definition but the markings are the same.

OTOH this is a Plain Twist marked c. 1880 lifter with the 'M' and clear ribband weld lines
